Taking action against Jiude is not a job that just anyone would dare to take on.
After all, anyone who isn't stupid knows who's standing behind Jiude right now.
If you lay a hand on Jiude, aren't you slapping the face of the person behind Jiude?
If you anger that person, "Iron Forest" is a cautionary tale!
Although the dark guilds are all desperate men, they are not all fools; this is actually a huge gamble.
But when there is a huge reward, there must be brave men. The Duke of Savalou spent a lot of money and was determined to capture Jiude. In the end, there were people who were not afraid of death and accepted the task. Not all desperate criminals are fools, but there are still many fools. There are always some who are willing to risk their lives for money, and there are always some who think they can definitely avoid being tracked down afterwards.
However, before accepting the mission, these people had all conducted on-site investigations and observed Jiude's security situation.
They certainly wouldn't believe the Duke of Savalou's one-sided account. For such a dangerous mission, prior reconnaissance was essential; after all, a single mishap could result in the complete annihilation of the entire group.
At the newly built Balenya Station, a pair of ordinary-looking twins stood together, staring at the blond man standing on the podium. Today was the official opening day of Balenya Station, and Jude had come to unveil the ceremony in person.
"Looking at it this way, this task doesn't seem too difficult."
One of the twins spoke slowly.
"Then let's just kill him."
The other one spoke with a smile, showing his sharp teeth.
The two brothers exchanged a glance, their magic surged, and they vanished in the blink of an eye, rushing straight toward Jiude, who was speaking on the podium.
"Gah!"
The hoarse cawing of crows echoed in the sky.
Countless black feathers drifted down, landing on the twins.
"What is that?! Little brother! I'll block it!"
The twins worked together, with the older brother staying behind to deal with the black feathers in the sky, while also giving his younger brother a boost as he charged forward.
"call!"
The older twin took a deep breath, and then a gust of wind blew up, making his younger brother rush forward even faster.
In the blink of an eye, the twin brother was already close to Jiude, baring his sharp teeth and his arms had transformed into the claws of a wild beast.
"Gah!"
However, several crows descended from the sky, swooping down towards him, their sharp claws and beaks gleaming coldly as they aimed straight for his vital points.
This forced the twin brother who was using receiving magic to give up the attack. He jumped away and avoided the swooping attacks of several crows.
"Where did these crows come from? Where are they hiding?!"
The twin brother was dumbfounded when he saw more than twenty large crows in the sky. How did so many crows suddenly appear?!
When they scouted the area before, they saw a few crows nearby, but those were normal-sized crows. If it were a crow this big, they would definitely have seen it if they weren't blind.
"Gah!"
The crows didn't give him time to think, and one by one they swooped down on him again, which infuriated the twin brother.
"They're just a bunch of flying monsters! Do they really think they can stop me?!"
The twin brother swung his arms, his sharp claws reaching for the incoming crows. He wanted to see what these crows were capable of!
"Clang!"
Claws clashed, producing a metallic clang. This made the twin brother's eyes narrow. These crows possessed a great deal of magic; he hadn't even been able to disperse the magic in their claws with a single strike, which was clearly far beyond his expectations.
"Gah!"
One crow's attack was blocked, but several more swarmed in. The twin brother was caught off guard and was struck several times by the crows' talons.
His magical power surged forth to defend against the crows' attacks, but many places were still torn by the crows' sharp claws.
"Brother! Come quick and help!"
The twin brother, who was surrounded by a group of crows and couldn't get away, shouted, but no one responded to him.
The younger twin looked toward his older brother, who was still behind him and was now covered in a pile of black feathers.
Although he was still struggling, he could not break free from the black feathers. His whole body was wrapped like a mummy, and his struggle strength was getting weaker and weaker.
"How could this be?!"
This scene made the younger twin's eyes widen in surprise. He had never expected the black feather to be so domineering. His older brother probably hadn't expected it either, otherwise he certainly wouldn't have resisted the black feather and forced it to help him.
"Gah!"
Amid the cawing of crows, countless black feathers fell again, covering the twin brother. Having witnessed his brother's miserable state, the younger brother dared not underestimate the feathers this time.
He quickly moved away to avoid them; the black feathers released by the crows themselves were clearly not as effective as those released by Moen himself.
First of all, the speed is a bit slow. It's okay for dealing with ordinary people, but it's not enough for dealing with mages who specialize in physical combat.
The sky filled with black feathers, forcing the twin brother back. The crows attacked him again, tearing the physical mage to shreds. It would have been better to be covered in black feathers, at least that would have lessened the pain.
"So they really did come?"
On the podium, after the initial surprise, Jiude calmed down and even felt a sense of relief. Finally, these guys couldn't help but make a move!
"Gah!"
With a few screechs, several large crows flew over, pulling a glider along. Moen, who was piloting the glider, immediately let go and landed on the ground.
"It looks like the battle is over."
Seeing the two dark mages, one wrapped in black feathers and the other lying in a pool of blood, Moen became excited. He had the leverage over them, and now he could start causing trouble!
"These guys are quite patient, waiting until this section of the railway was completed and open to traffic before making a move. Do they think we'll let our guard down?"
Jiude said with a sigh, "It's not the theft itself that's scary, it's the thief's eye on you. The waiting is the hardest time."
Jude knew that the Duke of Savalu would make a move against him, and he was waiting for them to make their move. For him, the sooner they made their move, the sooner he would be free; otherwise, he would live in constant fear.
Despite being protected by Moen's crows, Jiude was actually quite uncertain about the situation.
The crows shrank to their normal size and hid around Jud, watching everything from every corner around him.
Even Jiude himself didn't know which one was Moen's raven and which one was just an ordinary raven, so he was naturally filled with unease.
Duke Savalou and the twins had their suspicions about the ordinary crows that occasionally appeared around Jud, but they didn't pay much attention to them. They clearly didn't think that a few crows could pose any threat or have any ability to protect Jud.
